that is why they were big supporters of divorce, and they looked upon marriage as a very confining role in life. gloria steinem said that when a woman gets married she becomes a semi non-person. dann said the life of a wife and mother was living in a comfortable concentration camp. that was their attitude. the social degradation of women was a major goal on the feminist movement, and it wasn't using the argument that it takes two incomes to support the family. that wasn't why they wanted to get her home. not for the economic reasons, but for social and cultural reasons because they tried to tell women that you were just a parasite, your life is not accomplishing anything. the only way to have fulfillment is to be independent of men and have your own career. the pulitzer prize finalist will speak about native american history, the continued struggles of native tribes and the consequences of misusing resources and the environment. she is the author of more than a dozen books and collections of poetry including the woman who watches over the world, dwellings, and team spirit. >> linda hoga

i found out one big railroad. my guys are the same guys in mexico and canada, and the united states, capital from the same place. the technology from all the rest comes from the same place. the roads were operated. so at that point, as is usual in my book, i realized i did not know what i was talking about in the book became very different from the one i set out to write as all talk about later, it was david. i started out thinking that these are going to be powerful efficient corporations with a berth in the churn in the north american west to don't really expect to see it. i did find some in the north american west which is not what i expected to sign. my maternity has as much to do with failure as success. >> one way to read your book, at least in my view is you connect to kind of running argument with the great austrian born longtime harvard economist, joseph schell later, who is most well-known for the phrase created distraction in the history of capitalism and modern economy is all about creative disruption.

being elected, that was -- there was a study by a group of civil rights groups who had put together a big commission headed by two former secretaries of god, henry cisneros a democrat and i am drawing a blank on the republican from the state who used to play for all with the buffalos. yeah, jack kempe. the two of them were the heads of these two commissions and they studied the existence of housing discrimination and i will just quickly say because some of you may know about this, using audit studies. they demonstrated -- they issued their report in october. obama's elected in november. that report said racism still exist them what they were doing is looking up what happened in the last 40 years from 1968 when the housing act was established to 2008, 40 years later. so it still existed and i could give examples time permitted for almost every other institution in society. so this is what i meant. but every time that we start talking about racism people confuse racism with individuals. racism is not an individual. racism is an act. racism is not what one is. racism is what institutions do.

they got a big sandwich of nothing. they won't be there in the same numbers at all. i have this theory that the night obama won the election in 2008 was the night he appeared with rick warren who put his arms around him and said i don't agree with everything he says but he is all right. if you look at the numbers in 2008 what changed was the republicans stayed home because they didn't think he was the antichrist. now they think he is the antichrist again so they will turn out and it is not clear that obama's base will turn out and will be a much tougher election which is why all the more crazy people like ralph nader and alexander cockburn are advocating for somebody to challenge him as an independent or with the democratic party. that is how incumbents lose. they lose because they are challenged from within. that is how jimmy carter was challenged by ted kennedy and lyndon johnson was challenged and beaten. the easiest way to lose an incumbent president the is to fight 2001. even if i disagree with obama and thought he was terrible i would be against challenging him
